Naming Ceremonies
Baby naming Ceremonies
Why not mark this important milestone of having a baby or adopting a child with a ceremony dedicated to welcoming them into your family and community?
The focus is on your relationship with your child and the hopes and dreams you, your family and your community have for them. If you have more than one child they can be included too.
You can choose to have supporting adults (mentors/parents/fairy godparents) who will make promises to them and include some beautiful and fun symbolic actions such as a sand blending ceremony or blowing bubbles, that even the big kids will enjoy.
Adult Naming & Reclaiming Ceremonies
Have you changed your name by deed poll? Are you going back to your maiden name or reclaiming the original family name? Then why not announce your new name and be welcomed by your family and community through a meaningful naming ceremony?
This type of ceremony is always unique because it will be crafted to meet your needs and style so that it feels right for you. Because of this, they can be incredibly varied but always personal and you will be guided through the whole process.
LGBTQ Transitioning Naming Ceremonies
Are you transgender or gender-fluid and ready to be known by your new name or want to announce your new identity?
Having a naming ceremony where you bring your family and friends together to welcome you by your new name is a perfect way to mark this important milestone and signify your transition.
Wild Peach Ceremonies will work with you to create something personal and meaningful to celebrate your new name and identity.
Family blending ceremonies
Family blending ceremonies are becoming more popular, as people are marrying people from other cultures. In these ceremonies, the families of the bride and groom come together to celebrate their joining in marriage.
The ceremony is conducted by Helen, who guides the process and ensures that all of the necessary traditions are followed. The purpose of this ceremony is to blend two families into one so that they can share their happiness and joy.
